    The real answer:

    1) Low cost housing
    2) Pro-business regulatory framework

    The result of this is a strong economy and a strong middle class.

    (a third reason is we have TV Johnny Dang making grills)

    Trump lost Harris county 53-41. Given our strong dependence on oil and massive layoffs I wouldn't say our economy is on good ground. In general people in houston aren't that political given our voter turnout.

    Popeyes tested the chicken sandwich first in Houston before they got the green light for all markets

    "We" = Houstonians

    We are outnumbered here, either current residents or former residents

    but we are the Houston part of the Houston Rockets
